Ballarat meets North United under lights on a Morshead Park synthetic pitch in the midweek fixture.
Warrnambool went into round 15 level on points with Ballarat at the top of the table.
However, Sebastopol spiced up the tussle for the league championship with a 3-1 win over the Rangers.
It is only Warrnambool's third loss the season, but it could proved costly in its title quest.
Sebastopol has moved up one position to third, to be just one point adrift of Warrnambool and ahead of fourth-placed Vic Park on goal difference.
Castlemaine provided one of the upsets of the season with a 1-0 win over Vic Park.
Last time they had met, Vic Park had won the match-up 7-1.
While Vic Park remains firmly entrenched in the top four, it is not the form it want to be in with just five games remaining.
